Request for clarification #3

Not a bug or issue, but I'd like to get a better understanding of this. Do search terms in this work at al like udev rules? Or do I just search for a string and then it returns a device path? And if I use search, can I have it create a device path for the first device it finds that matches the search?

I know this is being picky, but an actual example or two would help a lot!

If you use the listpci or list command line parameter, under "search string" you will see the string that will be searched for whatever substring you give.

Thank you.

So it provides a list of what matches the search string? I take it we also can't add a path for it to reset the device to, or can we?

If you want to use path, you can use the path or pathpci command line parameters. You can see all the possible command line parameters using python reset_usb.py help
